PlasmaChains, Interviews & CryptoZombies (Loom Updates #027)

Hey... you scallywag. Yes, you and I are both still on a rock (i.e: planet earth) that is spinning through space at a mindblowing 67,000+ mph 😮 ...and there's a bunch of nerds on that rock (like Loom Network) who are STILL working on that "blockchain stuff" as if their lives depended on it.  To make matters even more interesting, America is looking more and more like Idiocracy.  If I find out I am living in a simulation any second, I wouldn't be surprised at all 😜  Anyway, I am glad you are with me today... because I got some updates straight from the Loom HQ Speaking of which... 1. CryptoZombies Season 2 is coming soon... Since we originally launched CryptoZombies LESS than a year ago — a little over 301,847+ students have used it to learn blockchain development around the world.  That's quite nuts if you ask me.  Here's the deal: We are working on the SECOND version of CryptoZombies as you read this. Better yet, if you want a sneak peek, you should... 👉 Read about CryptoZombies Season 2 P.S: Did you know you can organize a CryptoZombies Meetup in your own city? (Tell me more)  Also, you should catch up with Loom's talk from the Blockchain Game Summit... 2. Plasma Cash, Blockchain Games & Loom Sidechains 📺 (VIDEO) Georgios — (other than being one handsome bastard who likely could have pursued a serious modeling career in Djibouti)... happens to be one of the best Plasma researchers on planet earth. Ya know what's even better? He's OUR lead Plasma Researcher 😉 It's part of the reason why we already have a PlasmaChain testnet LIVE.  ...and just in case you were drinking beer and partying with your friends instead of attending the Blockchain Game Summit in Lyon, France — I figured I'd hook you up with Georgios's talk from the event. If you are interested in Gaming, Loom's Sidechains or how Plasma is used to secure digital assets, you should... 👉 Watch Georgios's Plasma Cash Talk from Blockchain Game Summit That's not all... 3. Loom Co-Founder James Duffy was Interviewed 📺 (VIDEO) I don't normally include interviews, but this fella BlockchainBrad (a YouTuber) did his research. This interview is EXCELLENT. So, if you are interested in downloading James's (our Co-Founder) brain, I would highly recommend that you... 👉 Watch James's Interview   Those are all the MAJOR updates for this edition 😉 By the way, our Co-Founder/CEO Matt will be speaking at Devcon4 in Prague. If you aren't attending — I'll do my best to get you a replay of his talk.  Also, with Ethereum hitting all-time-lows, some of you might be worried about the future of crypto… But, if it makes you feel better, here are 12 reasons why you might want to be bullish on Ethereum. (Hint: Loom Network is one of them 😉). See ya in two weeks!
